If I understand, you have a dual-boot system, with Sarge and Woody.
Sarge's boot is hosed, but you've tried to boot off the Woody
installation CD into the Woody installation, and it fails also.
Is this correct?
If it were me, I'd boot off a LiveCD, such as Knoppix or Kanotix, then
run cfdisk to see what partitions are defined. I'd mount the / partition
on the hard drive, and look to see what /etc/fstab says, and take a look
at the initrd issues you mention. My gut instinct (not having adequate
info), is that either your partition table is scrambled, your drive is
failing, or you're not feeding the correct parameters to the Woody CD.
